Deep Silver has been fairly busy recently, just releasing sequels to both Dead Island and Metro 2033 almost back to back. Their recent acquisition of THQ gives them the reins to Volition, and their Saint's Row 4 is causing a stir at E3, as well as a playable demo on the floor of Grasshopper's Killer is Dead.
Killer is Dead (PS3/XBox 360)
Kurokawa Games and Suda 51 showed off their newest offering, Killer is Dead, at Deep Silver's E3 booth. Although XSeed plays publisher in North America, Deep Silver covers the European market. Killer is Dead is one of those comic book noire hitman games and reminds me a bit of XIII. Players assume the role of Mondo: armed with a cybernetic machinegun arm and a samurai sword. Expect things to get messy.

Saints Row IV (PS3/XBox 360/PC)
In Volition's newest tale of the Third Street Saints, the main character is now President of the United States, and apparently Keith David serves the country as Vice President. Okay, why the hell not. This time, however, it's not the rival gangs from Steelport stirring up shit, it's aliens from outer space, and they're using the Wachowski Brothers' World Domination Playbook. It looks like it might be time for some hostile immigration reform, Mr. President. There's violence, there's nudity, and there's Benjamin "Motherfucking" King...expect a mature rating on this one. Saints Row IV hits current gen consoles and PCs on August 20th.
